Mediterranean Meatballs with Sesame Tzatziki

A host of rich, earthy spices gives a warm and delicious flavor, serving as the base of the perfect comfort meal. Serve with a tangy dairy-free Sesame Tzatziki sauce for a crisp and creamy finish.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400. Line a sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil.

Prepare the meatballs by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl. Using clean hands or a fork, mix it together gently just to incorporate everything together. Be careful not to over-mix or the meatballs may come out tough.

Once mixed, scoop out the meat and roll together to form tight 2” balls. The size you roll will determine the yield but you should get about 12 meatballs. Space the meatballs out on the lined baking sheet and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until just browned.

While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the Sesame Tzatziki by combining all listed ingredients in a small serving bowl. Whisk or mix together well. If making the sauce ahead of when it’ll be served, keep it in the refrigerator until serving.
